  Vosne Blind Tasting: 7 Beaux Monts (Beaumonts) 1er crus (The Wolf, Oakland): Musty but not corked. Palate much nicer than nose: a nice sweetness emerges; rich, very long, and fascinating. Actually yes it's corked.

  Quelle belle bouteille! Elle a mis tout le monde d'accord, meme si a l'ouverture il se montrait étriqué au nez.
  qq minutes ont suffit pour déployer les notes sudistes de badiane, de fenouil, d'épices, de poivre blanc, de bonbon, d'angélique, de fleurs poudrées, dans un registre fin et pas du tout artificiel.
  Et puis derriere, les muqueuses sont sous la seduction implacable d'une rondeur raffinée, ample, que vient équilibrer une salinité subtile; et c'est long, c'est long!
  Tres beau vin, j'adore! attention aux accords pour ne pas l'abimer, il se suffit a lui-même!

  What a great drink right now. Complex nose of ever evolving mineral, white flower, tea (tilleul) aromas. Noble bitterness which characterises white Simone dominates at first, then the iodine, mineral, mixed with honey and wax notes shows increasingly. Slightly creamy texture, great length and precision. Very fresh still, very classy and elegant, yet eminently drinkable and mouthwatering. Definitely one of the most complex and appealing white wines in France, in my view. A beauty.
